Metrics package

Help improve Atom by sending usage statistics, exceptions and deprecations to the team.

You will be asked at first-run whether you consent to telemetry being sent to the Atom team which includes usage statistics, sanitized exceptions and deprecation warnings. You can change your mind at a later date from the Atom Settings window.

Repository open events and the hostname from the repository's URL (i.e., github.com, bitbucket.org, gitlab.com, visualstudio.com, amazonaws.com if the repository is hosted at one of these domains; otherwise, the hostname is anonymized as other)

This information is sent to GitHub's internal analytics pipeline via the telemetry package which allows the Atom team to analyze usage patterns and errors in order to help improve Atom.

I think this package is bad news.

Good catch. Let us know what about this package looks wrong to you, and we'll
investigate right away.
